The children have had an excellent first term in Year 2. How busy we have been! We have been learning all about the Great Fire of London and how it started in 1666.

Did you know that the fire started in Thomas Farynor’s
bakery on Pudding Lane and burned for 5 days?

The children had a visit from The Drama Hut and had and exciting morning learning more about the fire through an interactive workshop. We were sent back in time to 2nd September 1666 and met the character Thomas Farynor. We are also met Samuel Pepsy, who wrote a diary during the Great Fire of London, and explored all the reasons why the event happened and why it lasted for so long.

Also, we pretended that we were workers in Thomas Farynor’s bakery on Pudding Lane. We discussed how to be safe and hygienic when cooking and baking food. Then we learned how to make our own bread rolls! We think they tasted delicious!
